Stabalized Table

I have made a stable table for working on but it looks uneven to me. I have to trust the level and the first few pieces will tell if it is true. I started using wax on the edges of the wood frames that I use as molds and it works well as a release agent. I am amazed at how the concrete shrinks while it sets and as a result releases perfectly along the edges so that I can simply raise the wooden frame up around the newly made piece. This explains a lot in terms of how molded concrete pieces can crack while they set.
